Along with a few other food bloggers, Mövenpick recently set me a challenge which was to create an Ice Cream Sundae using Mövenpick ice cream.

I could add any additional non-ice cream ingredients I fancied.

But I had another challenge of my own, which was to try to take photographs before it melted! Trust me to pick the hottest day of the year to make mine!

With that said, this Sundae made with Mövenpick Caramelita ice cream makes for perfect eating with the lovely hot weather we're currently enjoying here in the UK.

Mövenpick Ice Cream is a luxury Swiss ice cream with no artificial additives or colours and tastes truly delicious.

You can buy it in any good supermarket. Besides Caramelita it is available in many other yummy flavours.

How to make caramelised peanuts

Please note this amount makes far more than enough for two Sundaes but it's so moreish there's no need to fuss as it will soon be eaten!

Ingredients

  • 100g roasted and salted peanuts
  • 90g caster sugar
  • 40ml water

Put all of the above ingredients into a large frying pan and stir continuously over a low to medium heat for about 15 minutes - don't let the sugar start to caramelise at this stage.

Now turn the heat up to medium-high and stir occasionally so that the peanuts are well coated and the sugars start to caramelise.

As the water evaporates you will need to stir so the peanuts don't burn. Cook until the water has gone and the sugar has coated the peanuts.

Once done tip and spread in a single layer onto a baking sheet covered with greaseproof paper and allow to cool completely.

To assemble the sundae, start by adding a spoonful of Dulce de Leche to your ice cream sundae glasses followed by a scoop of ice cream and some whipped Mascarpone.

Layer with more ice cream, mascarpone and Dulce de Leche.

Top with a few caramelised peanuts. Get your long spoons out and dive in!

Disclosure: I was asked to create an Ice Cream Sundae using Mövenpick Ice-Cream and I was provided with Ocado vouchers to purchase the ingredients to test my recipe before posting.

The prize for the winning sundae is a MasterClass with The Langham hotel in London's head pastry chef Cherish Finden, followed by afternoon tea for two at the Palm Court.

UPDATE: I actually WON the competition!

  1. Gosh that looks tempting. I'm trying to focus on more veggies and less sugar at the mo but this might be worth breaking my own rules for.
